Reality TV star Nonku Williams has opened up about the unimaginable pain and trauma she has endured throughout her life in a deeply emotional episode of Untied, now streaming on Showmax. In the newly released episode, Nonku bared her soul, sharing heartbreaking details of betrayal, abuse, and survival — leaving many viewers both shocked and inspired by her resilience.
Nonku, best known for her appearance on The Real Housewives of Durban, spoke candidly about her relationship with the late gospel musician Sfiso Ncwane, the father of her first child. She revealed that during the final stages of her pregnancy — when she was nine months along — Sfiso left her and married another woman. “He went and got married while I was heavily pregnant,” she said, her voice trembling with emotion. This betrayal left her heartbroken and confused at a time when she needed the most support.
But her pain didn’t start there.
Nonku recounted witnessing one of the most traumatic experiences a child could ever go through — seeing her own father drown her mother. “I saw it with my own eyes,” she said, describing how the horrific memory has haunted her ever since. That experience shaped her outlook on life and relationships, planting seeds of fear and mistrust that would later echo through her adult experiences.
The trauma didn’t stop in childhood. Nonku bravely opened up about the abuse she endured at the hands of her ex-husband. While pregnant again, this time seven months along, she was brutally assaulted. “He kicked me in the stomach,” she recalled tearfully. But what was even more terrifying was the moment he pointed a gun at her — all over a missing wallet. “I begged for my life. I begged for the life of my unborn child,” she said, describing the sheer fear and helplessness she felt in that moment.
Amid these raw revelations, Nonku also briefly mentioned experiencing visions or spiritual encounters — referring to seeing “blue eyes,” a detail that hints at a deeper, perhaps spiritual or psychological dimension to her story. Though she didn’t elaborate much, it added a layer of mystery to her deeply personal account.

Despite all the darkness she has endured, Nonku’s story is not just one of pain — it’s also one of survival. Her openness on Untied is helping to break the silence around abuse, trauma, and emotional scars that so many women suffer in silence. She said she is finally ready to speak her truth, not for sympathy, but as a way of healing — and hopefully helping others find their voice too.
Viewers have flooded social media with support, praising her strength and courage. Nonku’s vulnerability has not only sparked conversations around abuse and emotional trauma but has also reminded many of the importance of healing and self-worth.
The episode of Untied is now available to stream on Showmax.
